Night Train Blues' and 'All I Ever Did', lyrics by Pete Atkin)

As of July 2011, Hillside Music has sold out its stock of this CD, but we can now
offer the two featured songs as a free download. We've coded them at 320kbit/s
near-CD quality MP3 and combined the two songs into a ZIP file of 17 megabytes.

"A very different performance of a song, co-written with Clive James, from the one that appears on Pete's first album. Recorded 24th May 1973 at a club in Plaistow. Sadly the first half of the set went unrecorded as Alan & Tony were too busy talking in the bar downstairs!" Album produced by Alan White, Terry Martin, Tony Kingsbury, Peter Collins. With the exception of Memphis Tennessee and Ballad of Robin Head, these recordings were all made by or 'collected' by Alan White. They date from 1969-1976.
